Let's divide 42596 by 46
Our goal is to divide 42596 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 46

On to step 3:
46 can be fit into 425 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 414 from 425 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 119 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 92.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 92 from 119.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 276 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 can be fit into 276 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 926.0
Subtracting 276 from 276 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
46 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 926.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
0 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 926.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 926.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
